As a feedback on your slideset: there were 89 slides that I liked. The one that you should remove is the one excusing your English. You should not be apologetic about yourself or the presentation, least of all in the beginning of it. The audience expects and wants you to succeed therefore blackballing yourself in the beginning undermines your whole setting for the presentation. Secondly bad English is the most spoken language in the whole world, therefore fluent speakers should be excusing us, the majority (I´m from Finland:)
I am sure that your presentation was a success and this minor detail did not ruin the whole show. However,that one slide was just something that caught my attention and you could reconsider the use of it.
BTW, slide nr. 19, is the background from iStockphoto?
The image in slide 19 does come from iStockPhoto.
